The Free Radicals are a troupe of improvised comedy players based in Reading, UK.

They return with a new season of improvised comedy science – Schrödinger’s Hat, the show that mashes together real science and improvised comedy theatre.

At the heart of the performance will be an engaging and informative talk from a genuine science communicator on a topic that the players won’t have heard before.

With no rehearsal or script, the players take the themes of the talk and produce a truly astonishing comedic journey of the imagination.

Joining the Free Radicals this May is Sophie Paul, a hydrogeologist who chairs the Reading Hydro Project. This community benefit society is planning to produce hydroelectric power by the weir at Caversham Lock, using new tech based on old science. Income from the project will help to fund other sustainability projects in the area. ​

Sophie will be introducing you to the scientific and technical aspects of Reading Hydro, which you can get involved in too.
